- FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop (but may apply to all) - HEADLINE: Add Expert Mode Install - DESCRIPTION: This week I started installing Ubuntu, and the installer is just too basic. That's ok for the common user, but I like installing in expert mode. With expert mode I mean full control of what's being and how it's being installed (eg. network settings, software packages to install, mirrors, etc). I could not even change to a tty while installing. When installing Ubuntu along with my other Debian, and I missed the latter installer in the process. Another aspect to polish in the installer is being able to encrypt just one partition and even include an encrypted volume manager such as Debian's. As an issue, I managed booting in live mode and encrypting manually, but after a successful installation of the system, GRUB could not manage to boot the encrypted system. Watch out, I might not have installed it properly, but it seemed to me this feature was not implemented correctly. Anyways, I think Ubuntu is a good OS that's able to compete with others - ROLE/AFFILIATION: Web Developer @Spain
